Material and methods: The study sample included 5 women aged labial glands, from 28 to 43 years (mean age: 37.4 years) who previously underwent a lip augmentation or high-frequency rejuvenation procedure. Photographic documentation was taken and high-frequency ultra- ultrasound sound assessment was performed in all the patients. The presence of deposits, foreign body granulomas, fibrosis and labial glands was mainly investigated taking into account the shape of the abnormalities, their margins, surface area, location and echogenicity. In order to con- firm the diagnosis, histopathological examination was performed. Results: The examinations performed made it possible to differentiate between granulomas and persistent deposit nod- ules and to demonstrate the presence of massive fibrosis and of labial glands pushed out by these abnormalities with the glands presenting as hypoechoic oval areas. Histopathological examination confirmed the morphology of labial glands reported by the patients as uncom- fortable lumps felt from the side of the mucosa, which clinically simulate persistent deposit nodules or granulomas. Conclusions: High-frequency ultrasound is a method that is essential for the correct differentiation between complications of tissue filler procedures. This, in turn, makes it possible to apply the right treatment. In this study, it was demonstrated for the first time that the lumps reported by patients who have had a lip filling procedure may be the result of labial glands being pushed out by deposits, granulomas or massive fibrosis, which are complications of such procedures.

The use of permanent fillers is usually complicated by granulomas observed on ultrasound as fairly irregu- lar, oval focal abnormalities, sometimes with blurred, uneven external margins. In the present cases, however, the authors observed small labial glands bulging into the oral cavity in the projection of the granulomas mentioned above. Labial glands can also be pushed out by massive fibrosis in the lips observed by the present authors, caused by numerous lip filling procedures, including those using

    INJECTABLES ANATOMY www.aestheticmed.co.uk Nerve tracking Dr Sotirios Foutsizoglou on the anatomy of the facial nerve he anatomy of the human face has received enormous attention during the last few years, as a plethora of anti- ageing procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, are being performed with increasing frequency. The success of each of those procedures is greatly dependent on Tthe sound knowledge of the underlying facial anatomy and the understanding of the age-related changes occurring in the facial skeleton, ligaments, muscles, facial fat compartments, and skin. The facial nerve is the most important motor nerve of the face as it is the sole motor supply to all the muscles of facial expression and other muscles derived from the mesenchyme in the embryonic second pharyngeal arch.1 The danger zone for facial nerve injury has been well described. Confidence when approaching the nerve and its branches comes from an understanding of its three dimensional course relative to the layered facial soft tissue and being aware of surface anatomy landmarks and measurements as will be discussed in this article. Aesthetic medicine is not static, it is ever evolving and new exciting knowledge emerges every day unmasking the relationship of the ageing process and the macroscopic and microscopic (intrinsic) age-related changes. Sound anatomical knowledge, taking into consideration the natural balance between the different facial structures and facial layers, is fundamental to understanding these changes which will subsequently help us develop more effective, natural, long-standing and most importantly, safer rejuvenating treatments and procedures. The soft tissue of the face is arranged in five layers: 1) Skin; 2) Subcutaneous fat layer; 3) Superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS); 4) Areolar tissue or loose connective tissue (most clearly seen in the scalp and forehead); 5) Deep fascia formed by the periosteum of facial bones and the fascial covering of the muscles of mastication (lateral face).

MASON From the Department of Oral Medicine and Pathology, University of Glasgow Dental Hospital and School, Glasgow, Scotland, and the Department of Oral Pathology, University ofIllinois, Chicago, USA SYNOPSIS In the present investigation, the prevalence offocal lymphocytic adenitis in the submandibular salivary gland was observed in a series of 116 postmortem subjects after suitable exclusions had been made. Focal lymphocytic adenitis could not be demonstrated in the labial salivary glands. The degree of lymphocytic infiltration in the labial salivary glands is positively correlated with the level of focal lymphocytic adenitis in the submandibular glands in the same subject. Lymphocytic foci and lymphocytic infiltrations found under these circumstances are probably related. This finding provides conceptual support for the examina- tion, by biopsy, of the labial glands in patients suspected of Sjogren's syndrome. The aim of the present study was to investigate muscle layer of the lower lip were excised at the prevalence and degree of lymphocytic sial- necropsy.

  • Salivary Glands
    GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM [Anatomy and functions of salivary gland] 1 INTRODUCTION Digestive system is made up of gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) or alimentary canal and accessory organs, which help in the process of digestion and absorption. GI tract is a tubular structure extending from the mouth up to anus, with a length of about 30 feet. GI tract is formed by two types of organs: • Primary digestive organs. • Accessory digestive organs 2 Primary Digestive Organs: Primary digestive organs are the organs where actual digestion takes place. Primary digestive organs are: Mouth Pharynx Esophagus Stomach 3 Anatomy and functions of mouth: FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY OF MOUTH: Mouth is otherwise known as oral cavity or buccal cavity. It is formed by cheeks, lips and palate. It encloses the teeth, tongue and salivary glands. Mouth opens anteriorly to the exterior through lips and posteriorly through fauces into the pharynx. Digestive juice present in the mouth is saliva, which is secreted by the salivary glands. 4 ANATOMY OF MOUTH 5 FUNCTIONS OF MOUTH: Primary function of mouth is eating and it has few other important functions also. Functions of mouth include: Ingestion of food materials. Chewing the food and mixing it with saliva. Appreciation of taste of the food. Transfer of food (bolus) to the esophagus by swallowing . Role in speech . Social functions such as smiling and other expressions. 6 SALIVARY GLANDS: The saliva is secreted by three pairs of major (larger) salivary glands and some minor (small) salivary glands. Major glands are: 1. Parotid glands 2. Submaxillary or submandibular glands 3. Sublingual glands. 7 Parotid Glands: Parotid glands are the largest of all salivary glands, situated at the side of the face just below and in front of the ear.

  • Anatomy of the Ageing Lip
    AESTHETIC FOCUS Anatomy of the ageing lip With lip augmentation an ever popular option for those seeking more youthful looks it is vital that practitioners have a proper understanding of anatomy. In the first of our two-part special focus on lipsDr Foutsizoglou provides a comprehensive guide to function and anatomy. BY SOTIRIOS FOUTSIZOGLOU he lips are pliable, mobile, muscular folds that encircle the opening of the oral cavity. They contain the orbicularis oris and superior and inferior labial vessels and nerves. The lips are covered externally by skin and internally by mucous membrane. A sagittal cut through the lip can reveal the layers of soft tissue that form this relatively simple anatomical structure. That is, from Tsuperficial to deep: skin, superficial fat compartment, orbicularis oris muscle, deep fat compartment and mucosa. The lips are used for grasping food, sucking liquids, clearing food from the oral vestibule, forming speech, osculation, and controlling the size of the oral aperture. Functions of the lips as part of the tactile senses. Lips are very sensitive to touch, warmth and cold. Food intake Lips serve to close the mouth airtight shut, Erogenous zone to hold food and drink inside. Because of their high number of nerve endings, the lips are an erogenous zone.

ABSTRACT: Saliva is essential for maintaining the protection and normal functioning of the masticatory system. A 'dry mouth' or xerostomia resulting from a perceived reduction in salivary flow may lead to numerous signs and symptoms of oral dysfunction. The quality of life for affected people may be poor. Many of these persons are taking multiple medications that cause a reduced salivary flow, and the number of people taking such drugs can be expected to increase. The ingestion of softer cariogenic foods, and acidic foods and beverages in attempts to stimulate an increased saliva flow, is disastrous for the teeth. KEYWORDS: Acquired Dental Pellicle, Plaque Biofilm, Oropharyngeal, Sjogren's Syndrome INTRODUCTION The production of adequate amounts of unstimulated clears the mouth of food detritus, microorganisms and and stimulated normal salivary secretions is critical for the harmful dietary acids and gastric reflux acid4.

  • (OC) and Its Accessory Organs Namely; the Tongue, Teeth, Salivary Glands
    ORAL CAVITY The oral cavity (O.C) and its accessory organs namely; the tongue, teeth, salivary glands are concerned with the prehension, mastication and in salivation of food i.e. they are involved in the conversion of food for palatability. The O.C. extends from the lips into the entrance of the pharynx. The osseous support of the mouth is provided by premaxilla, palatine, alveoli processes of the maxilla, the horizontal part of the palatine bone dorsally, the mandibular rami laterally of the body of the mandible ventrally. The soft structures complying with the wall of the mouth are the cheeks laterally, the lips rostrally and the mylohyoid ventrally. Its dorsal limit or roof is the hard palate. Caudally, the oral cavity communicates with the oropharynx by a narrow opening called the Isthmus faucium formed by roof of the tongue and the soft palate, it is usually closed. When the jaws are closed, the mouth is divided by the teeth and the alveolar processes into vestibuble and oral cavity proper. These two cavities communicates via the interdental spaces. The part of the vestibule between the incisors and the lips is the labial vestibule, while that between the check teeth and the check is the buccal Vestibule. Rostrally, two narrow incisive ducts connect the oral cavity and the nasal cavity. The duct opens on the incisive papillae. The mucus membrane of the O.C. is usually pink but may be pigmented (black) in some places. It is well supplied with blood vessels and in its sub mucosa it contains serous or mucous gland know as the labial, buccal and lingual glands (depending on their location).
